Lee Greenwood is singer-songwriter of seven No. 1 hit songs, and has 25 chart-topping singles to his credit. His most famous song, "God Bless the USA" commemorates its 40th anniversary this year and has appeared on programs from "Dancing with the Stars" to major sporting events, including the NFL’s Super Bowl and Major League Baseball’s World Series in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. A supporter of America’s troops, Greenwood has started AdoptACop.com to treat our heroes to patriotic entertainment on Veterans Day. He has performed on 16 USO tours, including a 1989 tour during which he met his wife Kim, a former Miss Tennessee. They reside in Nashville with their two sons.
